Celiac

About Me

I am a highly sensitive Celiac. I don't like to eat out often, but when we travel I love this app for options and suggestions . I read everyone's comment and take them seriously. I always try to be fair with my suggestions and thoughts on the places I review. I hope they help all my fellow Celiacs.

Reviews

The only reason this was given 1 star is because I can't give it a minus......
I have not been to a place in quite a while that acted like I was asking for a miracle in Preparing GF food for me. This place offers it on the menu for 2.00 extra....but when you ask them how they prepare it they can not tell you.
The staff is all of the Spanish decent and can not speak clear English....when you are ordering food and need to explain your allergy, you need to be able to order have have it understood...not just a blank look.
I was told by the staff that they do not change their gloves because they were too busy...all the food is pulled from the same area and is cross contaminated from all of their hands touching it.
I DID NOT order the food. There was no way I was going to permit myself to have a Gluten attack.....because if I would of eaten here, it was a sure thing that in 15 minutes I would be in a bathroom dying!!!!

I have eaten at one other Dickeys and they were very knowledgeable. This particular one...not so much. I had to ask for the manager, then I was successful at ordering safely. As I always say....be cautious and order carefully....to avoid cross contamination. The people fixing the food don't deal with the side affects....we celiacs do!

I heard that this business offered GF options. They offer UDI buns as a option. The worker at the counter did not know what GF meant but was willing to find the allergen menu. After looking over the allergen options and asking a lot of questions, I was willing to give it a try. As a celiac, I do not generally just try out places unless I feel confident that I am not going to get contaminated. The cook came out and said how they prepare the food. Which made me feel very comfortable. They have a dedicated fryer for fries. I did not get ill and would suggest this place. Just make sure you ask and do your part to protect yourself from cross contamination.

This place was amazing!! I called before I made the reservation to make sure they could accommodate a Celiac. They were more than willing to make my food however I needed. I then received an email letting me know who to contact when I arrived to go over my needs. I then received a phone call to let me know who my server would be and more instructions on who to contact an etc... When we arrived the hostess knew I was a celiac when we checked in and gave me more directions on who to contact. When we found Kemekee he showed me the buffet and knew everything that was GF and not. When I explained how sensitive I was and how some of the food was next to gluten, he had the kitchen prepare my food....I was assigned a server named James and he would bring me whatever I wanted...they went over the top to make sure my experience was top notch...I can not say enough good about this place!!!

Found this place by accident. The menu says GF options?? Just ask...I asked and the girl hummed and paused and repeated GF?? I got very intimidated that they were a turn around and walk out place. But then I explained what I needed to have done and the girl got it....so I ordered the shrimp plate. They offered to cook it in a pan instead of the grill, to avoid cross contamination. The owner brought my food out to me and explained to me how everything was prepared. I did not get sick....I would recommend this establishment!

We have eaten here twice now and have been impressed each time. They did not have a GF menu but the waiters are very knowledgable. The chef will prepare any meats or fish on the menu for you. The sides are all prepared separately also. The creme brûlée is GF...they just have to prepare it with fruit....this is a great option

Staff is very knowledgable. But buyer beware....the GF food is prepared right next to the non GF good. Because I am a celiac and get contaminated very easily, I followed my food down the line and made sure it was prepared correctly. I did not get ill.....

Pretty good option. Everything on the salad bar is marked GF, but then they have non GF food right next to it and so cross contamination for that item is very high....I opted not to eat those items. The servers are very knowledgable and are accommodating.

This place is not what it was cracked up to be. The first time we went here it was supposed to be open but wasn't....we tried again the next day and I wish they had been closed again instead of waisting my money. The staff person was first of all dressed inappropriately for cooking food. There is nothing worse than seeing someone's boobs and armpits when they are preparing your food, should of been my first sign to run away from the place. When the girl finally asked for my order, I ordered the egg sandwich and she was very rude about my questions. She walked off to make my food without even acknowledging my Mom or Daughter....when she brought me my food I told her I had 2 more people that needed to order and she just stared and them and then uttered a what to them....she took over 20 minutes to fix their food....so mine was cold by the time they got theirs. The a egg sandwich was extremely small and not that good. I would not go here again unless I was desperate!!! There was no GF pastries as advertised available.

We read the reviews before going here and they lived up to what they said. Our waitress was so nice and knowledgable. I had the fish tacos and onion rings....I have not had an onion ring in 3 or so years and they were very good! My Mahi Mahi was fresh not frozen....I would definitely go here again!

We had breakfast here. The waitress was very knowledgable and accommodating. I had the omelet with potatoes and it was very good. I wish they offered pancakes like this website shows....but they did have UDI bread for toast. Very good option for celiacs.

I called ahead and spoke with the manager about GF options. She was very accommodating and reassuring that the kitchen was trained to not cross contaminate the food. When we arrived the manager greeted us and gave me all my options and checked back with us several times. The food was delicious and well priced. I was impressed!

We came here because there really was not another option for our situation for breakfast. The waiter was ok, but not super happy about our allergies. Only choice was eggs.....I did not get contaminated....but that was the only good thing about the food. The food was extremely overpriced and gross. My husband who does not have allergies compared his food to a bad hotel continental breakfast.
I only gave it a one because it doesn't allow a minus.

This was a great place to eat breakfast. The waiter has the chef come out and talk to me about my allergies. This place has a dedicated area in the kitchen to prepare GF food. The waffles were cooked on a dedicated waffle iron. The chef hand delivered all my food to the table. I was very impressed!

This place is HORRIBLE!! The menu is not Celiac Friendly at all...they advertise that they are GIG trained but yet our waiter didn't even know what gluten free meant. We had very few choices....when I received my food it came wrong and I had to send it back. By the time I got my food back I was afraid to eat it. The food was absolutely disgusting and not worth the price at all.
The person that left a comment after me and said I didn't know what I was talking about is extremely wrong and had no right to disqualify what my experience at this particular establishment was. I am a highly sensitive Celiac.....I know when I have been glutenized 10-15 minutes after I have been contaminated. This restaurant cross contaminated me and I was very through with my ordering as I always am. My experience is just that MINE...no one should ever use this app to down play another persons experience at any establishment, because if you truly are a Celiac than you use this app to help other not make or make wise decisions.
I would never go back to this restaurant....I would never recommend it.

I do not know what is wrong with this particular Costa Vida...but I have been cross contaminated 2 times now. Beware of the workers at this establishment, they do not speak English and they do not care that you have Celiac Disease and can get very ill.

The bread is homemade...not your typical UDI Bread. You can order any sandwich from the menu. The staff was very knowledgable and even asked if it was due to allergies or just a lifestyle, for a very sensitive Celiac...I was impressed. The food was great and worth it!

The owner was very helpful at looking at ingredients and willing to fix the food how ever she needed to, to avoid cross contamination. The food was very good and well priced. In a place that has no option for fast food...this worked!

Do not even try to come here!!! We asked when we got sat down the same questions I always ask the waitress...if they could accommodate and she basically said NO...I asked if they could prepare carefully and if it could avoid flour....her reply was NO and she also had no shit attitude our food...she actually said our food is prepared in the kitchen, so yeah it is prepared around flour. The people were extremely rude and NOT willing to accommodate. This place should not even of been recommended for GF find me!!
We walked out and definitely did not eat here!

They had GF bread but were not knowledgeable....the staff were very unfriendly and not much help on what was GF. My sandwich was tiny compared to my husbands gluten sandwich....Did not get cross contaminated... It was better than starving!

The waitress was very knowledgeable about my needs as a celiac. I explained that I was highly allergic and the waitress told me that she would personally tell the chef and the other staff to make sure I was not cross contaminated. My food was wonderful. They even had creme brûlée that was GF. Definitely worth the higher prices.

They do not have a GF menu but are very accommodating. The skillet for the omelets never has flour touch it....which was nice to hear. They substitute extra rice for the macaroni salad. Was a great option for breakfast!

Only thing you can order is the garlic shrimp....so if don't like shrimp don't. Eat here.
The shrimp was good....and they did give me extra rice.
But no dedicated fryer....no they will not accomodate...

We travel a lot from SLC to Vegas for business. This is a great little stop to get a quick sandwich or salad and dessert. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. It may be UDI bread but at least they offer it as an option....so many places make you get a lettuce wrap as the option, it is nice to have an establishment care enough to offer GF bread.
I think this place is worth five stars! I am a highly sensitive celiac and have never had a issue eating here. To me that is worth ten stars!!!

DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!
The only reason I gave this place a one is because it. Won't let me give it a negative number! This has got to be the worst establishment for a celiac there is. The staff is completely untrained..they don't even know what the word gluten means. The managers are complete idiots and could careless if they just contaminated your food or if your food was made incorrectly. I have gone here 5 times now and every single time I have been specific in my ordering as usual. Ever single time I have had a BUN, yes a BUN, on my gluten free lettuce wrapped sandwich....the last time I actually was so mad that they gave me a gluten sandwich I threw the thing at the manager and he just looked at me and said let me get you another one...what kind of bun did you prefer.....then never offered me compensation...oh at the end he offered me a free cheesecake...a complete IDIOT!!!
If you are a celiac like me and are highly sensitive I would boycott this particular place!! Not worth the chance!!!

We stopped by as we got off the ferry as an only option place to eat because we were so hungry. The pizza place was very small and we had to eat in the car. The staff was super unfriendly except for Xavier who took our order. The prices were reasonable. I was very happy with their knowledge and that I could order any pizza I wanted. The pizza was good...the crust was very comparable to Dominos....but a lot more toppings. I did like that I could order a small, medium or large and the price was the same as the "normal" pizzas.o would go here again if I was in the area!

We were passing through Idaho and this establishment came up on my GF app. The owner was very kind and helpful. But the options were limited because her GF chef had retired and she didn't have a replacement yet. The breakfast sandwich was on UDI bread. It was really good and I was not cross contaminated. I would stop again if I was passing by.

This is a must eat here place! I am a highly sensitive Celiac and do not eat out much because I get cross contaminated so easily. But we were passing through Yakima and saw this restaurant as an option and decided it was worth a try. It was so good that my Gluten Intolerant daughter wants to go on vacation to Yakima just so we could eat there 3 times a day. The waiter was so awesome and knowledgable. He told us that several of the waitresses are gluten free and that they make sure everything gets cooked and prepared correctly. You can order pretty much anything on the menu and they will accommodate you. It has been so long sense I could order off the menu I didn't know what to do! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment!

I only gave a one because it would not let me give a negative number or a zero. I a m a celiac...extremely sensitive. I order very carefully anytime we eat out, which is not often. We happened to be in Henderson and chose this establishment. Our waiter was awesome. But my meal came out with the rice pilaf all over my food...totally contaminated the whole plate. I had to wait for them to cook a new lobster and it was raw in the center. Definitely not worth the money!!!

If I could negative stars I would. The person at the counter did not speak English and had no clue what gluten free food was. I do not eat meat and she kept offering meat to me... Then she offered me the veggie burger, I then asked if it had wheat and she said yes... This was after I had said I needed gluten free menu.... Basically thus place sucks if you are a celiac!

Awesome!!! We have been to 2 different establishments now and have been completely impressed with the staff knowledge and assistance. I am highly sensitive and have not had reaction at all to the food. I was great to order a grilled chicken sandwich and have it on a bun!!!
